American actress Julianne Moore who's house was recently featured in The World of Interiors, shows a keen skill other than her acknowledged ability to act. Intricately designed by her, this house is located in West Village, New York reflects a unique take on mixing traditional spaces with a modern slant. I LOVE THIS HOME...

With over 650 stylish boutique hotels and self-catering properties worldwide, Mr & Mrs Smith offers an in-the-know edit of original, inspiring and intimate places to stay. Whether your after a glam city bolthole, a cool coastal escape or an eco-luxe wilderness retreat, you'll find this savvy website is the perfect one-stop shop for planning your next creative getaway.

When not scouring the world for seductive sanctuaries, Mr & Mrs Smith compiles gorgeous guidebooks of its top travel picks to encourage armchair travellers to reach for their keyboard (or ring the expert Smith Travel Team) and book a brilliant holiday. Featuring over 30 cherry-picked hotels, each coffee-table guide boasts evocative photography, sussed hotel tips (from favourite rooms to top tables at in-house restaurants), and smart destination guides, including insider round-ups of the best arts and culture must-sees in the area. You'll also find entertaining reviews from trusted tastemakers such as fashion designer Stella McCartney, burlesque star Dita Von Teese and Melbourne's chef extraordinaire Andrew McConnell.

What's more, every book comes with a complimentry Blacksmith membership (normally $25 a year), taking you straight past the velvet rope into Mr & Mrs Smith's travel club. Just register your card to enjoy members-only extras at every Smith stay, such as champagne or spa gifts on arrival, plus dream deals on rooms from Bali to London.
